"It is possible that the defeat of Chicago at the International Olympic Committee, a stunning, first-round defeat, will be good for the president over the long haul. His loyalties to his hometown are unquestioned, but the prospect of Olympic building scandals, of friends and fundraisers benefiting form the Olympic spending, and the virtually inevitable over-budget controversies would not have served Obama well. He has enough problems on his plate as it is."
Also from that article ,”Obama lost on both counts, but neither defeat is likely to linger for long. At 4 p.m. he plans to give an address at the Rose Garden, just a couple hours after Air Force One is scheduled to land outside Washington. If Chicago had won, the president probably would have turned the address into a chance to celebrate his hometown and thank his advisers who helped make the victory possible.”
He had to be planning a victory,look at me i’m Obama moment. He has nothing positive to say about anything else.
I’d be suprised if he doesn’t find a reason to cancel expect he likes being on T.V. too much.
That is pure unadulterated spin...I mean..do they really think we’re that stupid?
